Without getting into any details, all of us at Small Times want to deliver the best wishes to a speedy recovery of a good friend of the shop. This friend was the victim of an act of senseless, pointless, damaging violence, while making an honest effort to calm things down. You don’t deserve what happened to you.
To everyone reading this, I know it seems abstract due to a lack of detail, but just know that a fellow skateboarder was hurt when trying to help. If you’re the praying type, pray for the speedy recovery of an unspoken skater who was hurt in the line of helping.
Off the top of my head, I think this is the second “Greg’s Pic O The Week” by Tony, but staying true to form, Greg’s in the photo (as he was the last time this happened) so it still counts. Tony can take some mean-ass photos, and I think this is a great example.
Sometimes videos of the bowl at Dreamland don’t do the big wall (pictured below) justice… that thing’s pretty gnarballs, as is the trick that Gregory’s dancing on the lip with. The trick is a backside crail grind, which in and of itself is sick on it’s own. With crails, you’re not just touching the board, you’re actually wrapping yourself up with… yourself (I don’t know how else to explain it). Personally, I think frontside’s way easier but Greg’s down to risk his shiznizzle because deeply entrenched in his skate perversion he finds it fun. Hells yeah. As always, click the pic for a big fat version. Oh, and yes, this is pic is up way too late… which is my fault. If you decide to sue me, keep in mind that it’s impossible to squeeze water from a rock.

Greg with the massiveness!
